Right time to tag this mountain is late May-early June. I used snow for 550 vertical meters to make the ascent and especially descent easier. Would have been even better had I gone 2-3 weeks earlier. Crampons and ice-axe are essential for the early season ascents.
Other than this, it is important to find a faint trail on the east side of the creek that will make the initial 2km of Tarzan-style log hopping less painful.
